Festival Overview

The Apocalypse Later International Fantastic Film Festival (ALIFFF) is the only annual dedicated genre film festival in the fifth largest city in the United States: Phoenix, AZ.

Our core ideals are to find the very best genre films from anywhere in the world and screen them to audiences at as low a cost as is possible without sacrificing quality. We want 'fantastic' to refer to our quality as much as our genres!

Our third year expands from one full day to two, Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th October, 2018, our regular weekend. There will be Q&As with any filmmakers present and intermissions between the sets. An award ceremony will run on Sunday evening.

Our content is features and short films from across the fantastic genres: horror, science fiction, fantasy, crime, action, grindhouse, mystery, thriller, the punked genres and what can only be described as cult film. We love the depth that features can explore but also firmly believe that every opportunity to screen quality short films to a live audience is a good opportunity!
